well how often did you drive it? that's almost the same story on driving another car that has a stick. feel of the car is much different than the feel of yours. once you get used to it though, you're fine

it was my buddies car but i always drove that thing. a lowered gutted cavy was a blast to drive.

he said after he installed the clutch/fly wheel when he had the A/C on when he would come to a stop it would die...

isnt it like 300 for the light weight fly wheel?

well it's not about the money. at this point, it's just me putting money into it. but if someone's telling me i shouldn't have spent the money, i'd like to get a legitimate reason why i shouldn't have. i daily my car when it's running. i never run my AC, so that's a plus. and everytime i come to a stop, i downshift instead of 100% brake. and yes i got it for like 240-260 brand new from jdmpartswholesale whatever their price is

What exedy clutch did you get as in puck? I have the 3 puck and a stock flywheel I almost kill it quite often on a stock flywheel and i have to try to slip it or it engages kinda harsh. I just think its going to be super easy to kill and get going from a stop with a lighter rotating mass.

3 puck also. we'll see how it goes. i heard i'll have to bloop the gas and then let it go. i ride the clutch a bit by habit. worst case scenario, i'll replace it later on. but i'm not going to sell it right now
